I would like to say my family is like the families you see on TV, but i would only be lying. I have a sister who was born with something called HPminus. NOw before you go looking up on what the heck that word means ill just explain.My sister is missing half of one of her hormones making her so she cant speak,(no she can make sounds)and isn't supposed to walk but she learned.NOw the point of this question is that im very emotional to some things.I would really like to talk to someone who has a brother or a sister like mine.I'm sick of people always saying that they "understand" when they really have no clue.I'm tired of talking to people who just don't get why im so tired of the word retard and im so emotional spmetimes.All i want is someone whohas a sister or brother like mine please tell me why i am feeling this way!

Well, I wouldn't ever say I completely understand or what you're going through--because I don't but I do have condolences for you and your family. It's really disappointing the kind of world we live in. People are so fixated on images and looks and fitting in they'll do anything--or say anything to fit the mold. When people don't, they're branded as outcasts or rejects. That's so unfortunate. I am sure your sister has so much to offer people--whether she can speak or not. The way you feel, is not unnatural or uncommon. You have every right to. People can be cold and brutal. You just have to stand up for yourself and make a difference anyway that you can. As far as talking to someone that can relate, you could try finding a support group via online or in person. I am sure if you google some of it you will find something. Also, some churches and community areas offer groups. Or maybe, if your sister goes to physical therapy you can find another sibling that is in a similar situation. If you ever get the chance, read the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" I am sure it will make you cry, but it'll probably be something you can relate to. The little boy in the story has cerebal palsy (CP). Anyways, be the difference, by living your life for you and your family. Don't worry about coming down to the level of people that expect you to adapt for them. :)
